==Player set-up==
* If it is a '''2-player game''', players should use 58 cards and remove 2 each of the superstar item cards (Superstar's Shoes, Superstar's Clothes and Superstar's Hat) from the deck set.
* If it is a '''3-player game''', players should use 61 cards and remove 1 each of the Superstar's Item cards from the deck set.
* If it is a '''4-player game''', players use all 64 cards in the deck. To play more than 4 players, use a second set of cards and remove Superstar items depending on the number of players (i.e. If 6 player are going to play, players should use all 6 Superstar items to equal all the players). Players can also decide how many Item cards to play with.

==Using the playboard==
Each player in the game has 4 play areas on the playboard.
* '''Hand Cards''' The hand cards are cards that each player holds in their hands for themselves. The players can only hold 5 cards in the hand before and after their turn. The play may look at the player's cards, but the player cannot look at the other players' cards.

==On the playboard==
* '''Deck Pad''' This is a set of faced-down cards that have not been played. Each player in the game draws a card from the deck at the beginning of their turn.
* '''Discard Pile''' The Discard Pile is a set of faced-up cards that have been played. Any player in the game can look at the set of used cards at anytime.
* '''In-Play Cards''' Each player in the game has these on the playboard. In-Play cards are cards that are placed face-up in front of each player. The In-Play Cards have either Coin cards or Superstar Item cards.

==Using the Nintendo e-Reader== 
Experiencing the full game requires an [[e-Reader]] for scanning e-Challenge cards to play one of 11 minigames on the [[Game Boy Advance]]. However, the game can be either played with or without the e-Reader.

==Game Play==
# First, players should shuffle the card set and distribute 5 cards to each player. The cards that the players' held are called Hand cards and can only seen by the players who had their Hand cards.
# Then, players place all the remaining cards face-down on the deck.
# The youngest player goes first and plays moves clockwise (from left to right).

===A player's turn===
# A player should draw a card from the deck pile.
# Then, the player should choose one card to Play or Discard in the Discard Pile. If the player plays a Coin or Item card, they should place it up on the In-Play Cards as the card is now In-Play. If the player plays any other card, they should place it face-up on the gameboard and follow the instructions on the card. When the instructions have been followed, the player should put the card on the Discard Pile face-up.
# The play continues clockwise until someone places a Superstar card In-Play to win the game.

===Hand Card Rules===
* Each player can only carry 5 cards on their hands before and after each turn. As of such, each player must draw a card form the deck and Play or Discard a card onto the Discard Pile face-up every turn.
* When the deck has no face-down cards, the player reshuffles the other cards on the Discard Pile and places it face-down to form a new deck.

==Winning the Game==
To win the game, the player must be the first to have the Superstar's Shoes, Superstar's Clothes and Superstar's Hat; after that the player also has to place the Superstar Card to win.

==Card types==
* '''Coin Cards (24 total)''' 
Some cards in the deck require Coin-cards to be In-Play before they can be used. The small coin icon on the card determines how many coins the player has to pay to use that card; if the Coin-cards are used, place it on the Discard Pile as the player uses the other card.
* '''Item Cards (12 total)'''
There are three types of [[Item]] cards: Superstar’s Shoes, Superstar’s Clothes and Superstar’s Hat. Each item card will cost 2 coins each to place it in the In-Card Play. Before playing an Item Card; the player must first place 2 coin-cards in the Discard Pile face up so the player can play the item card.

==Reception==
Reviews of the card game are decently positive. {{wp|IGN}}'s Craig Harris rated the game 8.0, saying that the game is "easy to pick up and play", while suggesting that if Nintendo made booster packs that maximize the fun by adding more challenges, and utilizing the e-Reader, it would be a welcome addition. <ref>{{cite|language=en|author=Harris, Craig|date=February 25, 2003|url=www.ign.com/articles/2003/02/25/mario-party-e|title=''Mario Party-e'' Review|publisher=IGN|accessdate=August 9, 2024}}</ref>

==Notes==
*This is the only video game in which Daisy is playable but not Peach. It is also the only ''Mario Party'' game where Luigi is not playable, making Mario and Yoshi the only two playable characters to be playable in every ''Mario Party'' game.
**This is also the final game to use Daisy's original design that first appeared in ''Super Mario Land'', as her redesign from ''Mario Party 4'' onwards would become the standard for appearances after this game.
*This is the only non-arcade ''Mario Party'' game that is absent from the "history" section of the official Mario Portal website,<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.com/jp/character/mario/en/history/index.html|title=History|publisher=Mario Portal website|language=en|accessdate=August 9, 2024}}</ref> possibly due to it having only released in North America (as the section is ordered by Japanese release date).

==Footnotes==
{{footnote|note|a|''Mario Party-e'' can be played without the [[e-Reader]] accessory, but the accessory is required to play any of the 11 minigames.}}
